Structuralist Socialism

Starting to be popular amongst Dutch Students of Philosophy and international relations, Structuralist Socialism is a framework that agrees with the socialist ideals, but rejects its authoritarian methodologies, opting instead to use popular liberal methods to achieve the same goals.

Examples of Structuralist Socialism are:

-Privatization of the educational system with the exception of philosophy and history, entry to university being determined by achieving a range of "educational certificates" such as the already existing CAE or CPE in english.

-Disappearance of inheritance tax and reduced incremented tax on the rich, in exchange for a legal limitation of revenue in relative terms: a president being forbidden to earn more than 10x that of the lowest salary in his company. (open for dispute, standard variant seems to be 5x/10x/15x corresponding to National, international and intercontinental companies)

-Healthcare paid for per generation, due to the incompatibility of most current European systems of retirement with observed birth rates. (Every generation to pay its own way, and not increase/become the burden of the younger generation.

-Direct democracy made possible through widespread use of the internet. Parliament and political parties solely being there to ensure viewpoints about laws and decisions are presented, after which anyone possessing a valid online ID, that has been coupled with the passport number , can vote on the issue. In the Netherlands, this would mean a simple extension of powers of the Digid system already in place.
(note. the right to vote having been proposed to be a privilege that would require training, much as driving a car or owning a weapon)
